HC Deb 19 December 1938 vol 342 c2496W
Sir J. Smedley Crooke

asked the Minister of Labour whether the King's National Roll Council has now dealt with his suggestion as regards the amendment of the conditions of enrolment in the King's National Roll scheme to provide that Government Departments, municipal authorities, and firms engaged on Government work shall employ at least one ex-service man who is 50 per cent. or more disabled to every 100 male employés as part of their quota of disabled ex-service men employed under the scheme?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Yes, Sir; the suggestion was considered by the King's Roll National Council at their meeting on the 6th December. The council felt that my hon. Friend's suggestion would be very difficult, if not impossible, of application, and decided that they could not recommend it.
